  • if you know a song its just musicality and knowledge of your culture and history which is why you get so passionate when you hear it and dance to it, but there is no excuse for just straight up choreo and bitting, the purpose of the battle is to show case your raw talent not what you came up with in three months in a mirror, and as far as biting yea at this point your going to bite but only the basics, if you dont have basics you dont have foundation, which in my opinion mike watson doesnt have

  • damn man its just a dance battle... dance moves get used all the time.. if you think about it people do the same moves somewhere around the world.. why is this any different?

  • i saw this when it was originally posted on mrwiggles. that's what originally had me start poppin. i will admit, at first i thought mike's popping was better -> but that's before i had a sense of musicality. i then saw that mike wasn't fluent in popping foundation *at all* and he was based off of set moves rather than dancing talent. he was popular for a couple months until he got stale. SKEETER RABBIT said it best. Popping is always best freestyle, and should STAY that way. LEGEND WON!

  • i was expecting a street fighter match

  • mike was about to get his ass beat

  • Wat was that mix Mike used??

    

  • damn man dancing is suppose to be what you do to express yourself, and to have fun... so serious all of a sudden

  • Nah, I don't think people have been analyzin this vid closely enough. BOTH R great Dancers! As for Mike(and this I have to agree @flutterbunny) is WELL PREPARED/familiar with his music and his style of dance! (most likely knew the song) BUT if Legend didn't prep 4 this battle how could he have given some his moves the smooth after effects according to the music? Legend is a fantastic dancer but compared to Mike, sloppy, Mike is sharper in his executions and knows equally how to groove!

  • damn i remember when this went down...hahaha

  • I've seen Mike Watson dance to music in battles that he didn't choreograph. He is amazing. I wonder if it is even true that he choreographed this, since the DJ should have been fair to each dancer. Mike Watson just listens to tons of electro so he is well prepared. If you are unfamiliar with the medium, you will look less prepared. So he knew the song, that is not a crime. BOOGALOO is the best pop'n'locker I've ever seen. Like the guy said, DJ, don't play preset music to a battle!!

  • MIKE has ok moves but he doesnt really take off to me. But he has some style but legend is just all out sik wit it

  • Big head ass nigga he raw lol

  • why did the DJ even play his preset music then? what a buncha ignorants

  • ok even if mike watson came wit some preset music his shit was better than his his style was better and his movement went hard ....so yall niggaz need to stop hatin

  • Legend is  a Beast!

  • classic clip. legend completely destroys mike watson for real dance ability and musicality. aint even funny!

    shame about the stuff inbetween...but puts the dancing in context....

  • Im more of a G-Style kinda guy, not really into boogaloo. But legends footwork is insane.............

  • i've known legend since i was a little kid, he used to dance with my brother.

  • why did he do that? it was so obvious anyway...

    there is only one criminal in that room and i dont need 2 mention his name...

  • i dont know if you realize what the guy was talkin about at 4:00 but he was talkin about mike watson bringin out pre-set music that he was dancin to. like how he came out to the first song. if it was a real battle, he woulda been out. had a whole choreographed routine to it.

  • @omfgjflo

    Mmm I think you mean Legend, dog...

  • legend is one in jeans. Mike watson in yellow, who came out to pre-set music and already had routine ready to go.

  • My bad. I had them mixed up for over 5 years...

  • @omfgjflo

    yeah but i see the hat routine no different than a finger or tutting section.. nobody has just random tuts, who hasnt had at least 4 different routines of them.

    ppl battle on the UNKNOWN with shit they know. I think Mike is ok, although nothing compared to lol legend. which is why he didnt really make it anywhere in the battle scene.

  • peanut butter

  • mike watson is a monster

  • Mike Watson !! the same guy that SALAH kicked....damn salah make a fool of mike

  • Words of wisdom by Skeet! R.I.P.

  • legend was not even poppin to the beat the first song but the second he was smooth

  • They are both good but in the end I have to go with legend. Legend seems like he has more skill and mike doing a pre-made set was very cheap. See Mike's intros are strong, but when you make him get down for a while it looks a little stale after a while. Legend has such a strong foundation in footwork, hips, balance, and everything boogaloo needs that he seems like he could get down for hours.

  • omann

    u know legend started that crap

    everybody bites some thing

    is legend being accused of biting skeeter or poppin pete?

    i meen hes doing heaps of twisto flexin soo wat

    we all bite some one gosh poor mike

  • Taaaaaaaarue!

  • Watson Such a biter!

  • Legend.

  • BORRING!

  • LEDGEND YUR WASTIN YA TIME BRO HAHA

  • Haha! Legend been in the game twice as long as Mike. Dat nigga don't need to take notes!

  • Haha! That nigga brought his own music! Tha only thing dope was tha music mix to Siberian Nights! LMBAO. After they went to a track he aint rehearsed on Legend sucked him up.

  • Mike is the Truth! legend is just not at all that good to mee

  • but the fact still remains hes a gump

  • now thats a battle fo real...

  • Hmmm.. they are both great at what they do but there is a time and a place for everything if you think or know that someone is bitting instead of getting in someones face beat them.People need to stop and think first Mike shouldnt have said BIGG HEADDEDD NIGGA but still if you have that crap we call beef take that shit out side like the late great Rabit said its a dance hip hop (or what i like to call what we niggas do) is erverthing but dont make it nothing

  • Hmmmm.... i think both are ill at what they do but there is a time and a place for everything just because you think or now someone is bitting doesnt mean you get in there face just win the battle he can bit all he wants but it does it matter not after you beat him and if you had a problem with it take it out side and like slick dog says do you stop bringing nigga beef its a dance

  • mike watson is a gump

  • i dunno wut u niggas is talkin bout but that nigga legend took it home.....mike watson was tight too but he didnt bring it like legend

  • whats the tittle of the music that mike watson doin..? can please send me the tittle??

Plus put in work on yall Mark Azz Bee-eye-itches! lmao

  • Dude, you're the one that's stupid..."to right that dumb comment?" hehehe..Since when was right used to "write" a commet? hehehe..But yall know nothing bout popping..You guys are straight up newbies to the poppin game..I've been popping since the 70's lil kid...hehehe..But hey, if you like aerobics, then cheer for Michael Jackson, aka Legend!!!!

  • but seriously, can yall look at legend and call him a popper? or a solid gold dancer?? lol whoever's on Legends side, do Legend a favor, the next time Legend pops, get him some Le Warmers, cuz he's basically dancing like he's leading an aerobics class...hehehe...And dat's the Truth....hehehe Nuff Said!! lmao

  • maybe you will let him borrow your leg warmers, hun:)

  • lol No problem..I'll make a stop to the local gym aerobics class and pick Legend up a pair of leg warmers...lol Did you need a pair also? : )

  • dude are you stupid or what you clearly know nothing about popping to right that dumb comment

  • Mike is a fucking biter, biting off jr. Boogaloo. And he brought his own fucking music to a BATTLE? HE CHOREOGRAPHED HIS SET. What a fucking joke. And whoever is on Mike Watson's side, you're an idiot.

  • TOUCHE, Yuppy02!  TOUCHE

    Chase That, Nauwayne.....

  • C'mon Calitbalbrat, you know I'm right when I speak da truth about Legend's so called Michael Jackson's type of popping..lol But I give you props for being an advocate of popping, even though Legend isn't popping...lol More like Popping his joints out of place with his no movement control hyper spasm like moves..lol..

  • your fucking retarded i don't have to think twice to know that he ant michael jackson popping... he is boogaloo style popping moron legend don't give a rats ass about that child melaster

  • @yuppy02 Mike Watson used to be and is still one of the best players O.o When he was a kid he was the only one that would give Tomo a match. Mike isn't even the first one to do this and I doubt he'll be the last, he probably did this as a joke first of all so you're the idiot for taking this so seriously. 14 idiots agreed with you

  • Okay, whoever is going for Legend must be his cousins, bro, or sisters, cuz Legend can't pop worth beans...Either that or yall don't know anything bout popping...Legend was doing all sorts of Michael Jackson's moves with a lil bit of Prince and the Revolution flavor...lol The only thing Legend forgot to do was yell " Hee Hee Hee" in high pitch like Michael jackson when he went up on his toes....lmao

  • lol...not his cousin, just an advocate of popping and boogaloo, Nauwayne:)

    peace hugs n smiles

  • dont hate his style

  • He took the tut move from bionic at the end thats why they got into a fight.

  • Are you crazy??? Legend can't even pop!! Mike Destroyed Legend...Legend wasn't even popping..Legend looked like one of the dancers from Fame...Mike was busting old school style West coast Popping, cuz that's how we do it on the west coast...Ya Hurrrd!!!

  • lol...Legend may be from florida, but he is on the west coast now, San Diego:) Besides, Legend is a boogaloo, ya hurrrrd?..lol

    Watson's got some nice pops, but c'mon... :)

    PopZilla (west coast) would make Mike Watson cry like a lil girl:)...In fact, the entire Motion Sickness Crew would....

    peace hugs n smiles

    a

  • Mike Watson has NOTHING ON LEGEND....

    were those Junior B's tuts, Mike Watson???

  • lol legend hit so hard is hat flew off

  • what's the song at 6:55?

  • legend took it, nuff said.

  • Sick song tis a Mix of Siberian Night and Electric kingdom

  • 3:15-3:20.........WTF

  • WRONG.

  • wrong. legend destroyed mike...go get your eyes checked.

  • None of that really looked like choreography, just musicality. If you know the song, work it. Classic saying: "STFU and dance!"

  • well then watson wasnt showing much musicality then....

  • that white guy in red cracked me up throughout the video...

  • why are they beefing over dancing. just dance and let the crowd or the judges decide i mean damn

  • At the end, he was beefing over that last move b/c it was Junior Boogaloo who made it up. That why Dixon was all like, "ey, did i say i made it?"...

    kinda unfair tho, cuz i've sessioned with the legendary Junior Boogaloo a few times, and honestly, what move HASN'T he made up? lol.

  • lolololol thousands of ppls tut.

  • wats the name of the first song mike battles on and the second?

  • Art Of Noise-*artists*

    Momments In Love-*song*

  • "battle on what u dont know not on what u know"

    wtf

    the guy doesnt make sense

  • he meant the music. you are suppose to battle to music you dont know.

  • @hatetojudge what if most of the music they play is what you know? are you supposed to stop the dj because it happens to be on a song you do know? if you happen to know the song? and have practiced to it prior because its one of your favorite songs? is that cheating? just because he's an og doesnt make him infallible.

  • Fool thats skeeter rabbit, he pioneered freestyling in poppin, better sho some respecT!!!

  • wtf are you talking about?

  • I dont get what happened there but legend killed him.

  • I'm really disappointed at the way those two handled themselves at the end of this video.This a perfect example of what poppers,lockers,bboys,ect. should be against confrontations and beefs.Those two should be ashamed of themselves at the way they acted at the end of this video.

  • That guy in the left in red shirt looks like Eminem :D

  • lawl watson is automatically going to win if its in the ATL lawl that win against jrock in 04 was fking lame

  • What the Fuck!!! Hahahaha!!

  • wow niggas are still talkin bout this shit...this is hella old and mike got HELLA better trust me

  • anybody else notice the crazy white dude wigging out during the whole thing

  • LOL! LOLOLOLOL! Yeah I noticed.

  • lol thats poppin scott

  • yeah I think he was hype like that cause im guessin he was just gettin into poppin then

  • Mike Waston is fucken isnane

  • what is that song that he dance to in the beginning ive been lookin for it

  • I send you that song. just give me your email and i'll send it to you 4real

  • if ur talkin about legend then its:

    Groove Line by Heatwave

  • i've seen this video i'd hafto say about 100 times. whack battle atmosphere but still, Legend rips EVERY SET. DAYUMM!!

  • keep up the good work anything's better than standing on a street corner good luck.

  • mike kills the electro beat. and legend was boogalooing. duh! yall nigga stupid. he dont bite! i seen his old clips. hes been doing that tuttin moves for years.

  • I WAS THERE!

  • A dance is a dance... everybody does moves... such as the arm wave and tutting... I mean there's nothing anyone can do about it.. A dance is a dance...

  • It's only this year that I knew EB's and Taco taught MICHEAL JACKSON. Only choregraph a dancer should use is like a two on two or more. There should be no choreograph in a battle, that's like A rapper spitting preset lyric in a freestyle battle when you meant to be spitting of the top of the dome. But both Mike and Legened are heavy. Me I like dancers who can also entertain. Are there such dancers. Final what the track playing -4:50-.

    Sounds like i'm complaining lol.

    Peace guys.

  • anyone know the name of that last song???

  • hey whats the name of that song mike dances to in the end -6:54-

    please let me know

  • then again, if you listen to the names of the songs that Mike was dancing to, and some of the lyrics, then maybe that's why he was doing choreography. "Be Careful, he knows what his moves are BEFORE he makes them!"

  • Annnnndddd how do you know that? I know him personally and you watch him freestyle he goes with the words and beat off of any regular hip hop song. Dont make comments about shit you dont even know.

  • Sorry i didn't realize he's your boyfriend, jeezz.

  • p.s. EXPOSED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • because a real dancer has his shit together and can dance to any song ! choreography is for shows , any dancer should be able to go off , its about opening your mind , not just doing the same shit over and over , and not shit ONLY KNOW ! i could go on and on , but you prolly feel me !

  • Wtf fighting about moves, thats so dumb. If you made it up then just, shred it right back at them with more style and flair. Don't stop the battle to fucking whine about it. Wow serious loss of respect for legend. He is sick dancer, but he is acting like a highschool girl.

  • I completely agree!

  • fuck off...not when mike straight bit JR BOOGALOOS tut sets...thats fukn disrespect...and jr boogaloo was/is in motion sickness with legend..the same crew...fuck biting...

  • what's the song and artist that start at 4:50 please tell me , thanks.

  • whats that song at 1:13?

  • Twilight 22 - Siberian Nights & Electric Kingdom

  • wuts the name of the song that starts at 6:55

  • So many moves have been taken from other dancers, its just the way it works. These two dancers are both from completely diff. styles. Legend = Boogaloo. Mike = Animation, stop motion techniques. It all comes down to what one prefers. I still reckon Legend kicks absolute A! That dude rips alwayz. But Mike is an amazing animator. I just prefer Boogaloo. Boogaloo is more about the dancing, animating is more about entertainment.

  • Um.. Legend does not do Boogaloo... Legend does the funk style. You were right about Mike, however. There is a signature thing that people do that indicates that it's boogaloo. But for sure, Legend does not do boogaloo. That I know.

  • Aren't their plenty of funk styles? I noticed various styles featuring (even if only for a second) in some of these sets executed by Legend. There's Sacin, toyman, tuttin, floatin and the concept of fresno (I think) amongst plenty others i'm sure. I thought all of these were elements of Boogaloo? I may be wrong. Do you think Boogaloo simply refers to the rolls? If so, this set by Legend would not be considered boogaloo.

  • your right.

  • playapnoyx05 is right i told them all, those moves were in old school and they still are used :P Salah was totally the best in 2004 and 2005. :P

  • Mike is still one of the best! He uses a lot of different techniques effectively with the music; slow motion, that vibrating thing he always does, dime stopping,n his hits. I'm not sure if he bites off salah or salah bites off him, but some of the moves they do, have been done by ppl even before salah and mike. Also some things that ppl make can be made by some other person, and they both wouldn't be aware.

  • no he's not copying Salah

  • It's funny how Mike tries to be like Salah but fails.

  • No whats funny is you actually think Mike Bites off of salah

  • Mike Watson -rulessssssssssss!!! Hes Style is Godlike!!!

  • mike watson shouldnt be reppin the east side he makes us look bad by biting.

  • BOOGALOO!! none of what either one of them was doing was original. Mike Watson is more of an entertainer than legend, but legend was moving more so i mean its really up to the individual who likes who ever better!

  • The only reason why he said mike was a biter was because Legend lost in my opinion and some of the stuff legend did i have already seen someone do in a dance battle like 2 of em I cant tell you how many times i have seen someone do the moves what someone else havent created like the body wave or somethin like that.. those are just what i think of it

  • Mike actually did bite that set, move for move from a guy in Legend's crew that used to dance for soul train, it's in the Bboy summit video for either 2001 or 2002. Mike didn't try to change even a little

  • wats the name of the song that mike dances to

    it starts at 1:01

    IF U KNO PLZ TELL THANXX

  • egyptain lovr-siberian nite...i believe i kno egyptain lover iz da artist 4 sho

  • wats the name of the last song that mike dances to hit me back up

  • mike is a biter

  • DAMN... Legend got heated when that dude took his homeboys move... I saw some of this on Legend's tape... I didn't know all this happened though... damn... that's deep... GO LEGEND!!

  • Legend whooped his ass... LEGEND!!

  • can anybody tell me what the name of the song is which begins on 0:51 and ends at 0:57 seconds .... i think i heard it in the past and its rockzz (pls)

  • MTDD323232 Just so you know. when you say learn your history. Michael Jackson Started learnin from the Lockers Thanks to slim the Robot and His Style Because the Lockers were so big at the time they were very accessable. Then he started learin from the EB's and Poppin taco. Mike is a great Dancer But he is a Mimic he created nuthin he does.

  • MTDD323232 there you go u fuckin fagget The Lockers & The EB's... i hate dumb ass ppl that bring up MJ in every fuckin poppin video like WTF can the Fathers of this urban dance we love get sum respect Fuck

  • Michael Jackson WAS taught by the Boogaloos. Why is that so hard for people to believe? He wasn't the FIRST dude to do the moonwalk....he just does it real good. Sam did it before him, and people did it before Sam. MJ is good at poppin', but he didn't just learn it from "kids In the Ghetto" The Boogs taught him, AND Wade Robinson. Hyun too

  • mike jackson is great but come on now look at wat his life was his dad would have never had him in the ghetto learning poppin and shit so for any1 to say he invented that shit is a fuckin lie....Electric Boogaloos baby get it right they taught mike his shit

  • nigga fuck you,how bout i meet you and we battle i'll drag yo ass. how the hell you gonna say that electric boogaloo taught that man wut he know. you don't know who that man watch growin up. do you even know this niiga. probaly not. i do

  • man, who tha hell are you?... you don't even have no videos to show for... you're probably just anotha wannabe... you talk like u a fuckin OG on some shit... don't talk shit till u know fa sho what your talkin bout... lol, u a shame!

  • R u talkin about me or the utha guy

  • he said "can i talk now b2k" hahhaha thats funny

  • check this out to all you lame ass dancer that think mike ain't that fire fuck you you mad cause yo shit ain't like that he embarrasd that bullshit. that shit was wild and buddy talkin bout he stole that moved nigga michael jackson did all this shit b4 us him and james brown and many more so fuck yall do ya thang mike i'm a mie and we run the world all mikes.

  • u dumbass, michael jackson aint do this shit before poppers, he learned his shit from poppin Taco... learn your history...

  • you learn your history dick head. poppin taco wasnt even around or old enough at that to show mike how to pop. poppin taco was a lil boy when mike started dancin don't talk wut you think talk wut you know fool

  • YOU OBSVIOUSLY DONT KNOW UR HISTORY! lol.. poppin taco wasnt even around? are u kidding me man? poppin taco and mj are like the same age, these guys know what there talkin about. and another thing, michael jackon doesnt pop, doing a moonwalk and donig the robot isn't poppnig.
